Gleyber Torres 2B | DET
Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Back in Saturday's lineup
Torres (hamstring) is starting at second base and batting third against the Angels on Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Torres did not start in Friday's series opener after tweaking his hamstring against the Angels on Thursday, and one day off has been enough for him to return to the lineup. He's started the season slashing .300/.360/.475 with four stolen bases, 13 runs scored, four home runs and 15 RBI in 89 plate appearances.

Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Resting against lefty
Holliday isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Resting Saturday
Arias isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Toronto.

Edouard Julien 2B | COL
Twins' Edouard Julien: Idle Saturday
Julien isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Boston.
Julien will get a chance to regroup Saturday after going 2-for-16 with a home run and five strikeouts over his last five games. His absence will put Kody Clemens at second base.

Kristian Campbell 2B | BOS
Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Sitting third straight
Campbell (ribs) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins.
Saturday will mark Campbell's third consecutive absence due to rib discomfort. A trip to the injured list doesn't seem imminent, though the Red Sox may begin to consider it if the rookie's health doesn't improve soon. David Hamilton will continue to fill in at second base while Campbell is out.

Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL
Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Sitting third straight
Dubon isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.
Saturday will mark the third consecutive absence from the lineup for Dubon while Brendan Rodgers starts at second base. Dubon had started three of the Astros' previous four games leading up to Rodgers' stretch of starts, and it seems the two players have fallen into a timeshare at the keystone.

David Hamilton SS | MIL
Red Sox's David Hamilton: Two steals in win
Hamilton started at second base and went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI, two steals and two runs scored in Friday's 6-1 win over the Twins.
Hamilton filled in at second base for Kristian Campbell (ribs) for a second straight day and was productive again. Hamilton has gone 4-for-7 with three stolen bases in the two games, but Boston manager Alex Cora believes Campbell will be ready to play Sunday, per MLB.com.

Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Enters for injured teammate
Schneemann entered Friday's game as a pinch runner for Jose Ramirez (ankle) and stayed in the game. He went 1-for-1 with a double and a run scored.
Schneemann replaced Ramirez on first base in the third inning and remained in game at second base while Gabriel Arias moved from second to third. The Guardians have described Ramirez's injury has a minor-grade sprain, which makes it sound like he won't miss much time.

Colt Keith 3B | DET
Tigers' Colt Keith: Goes deep in win
Keith went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-1 win over the Angels.
It looked like another tough game for Keith, as he was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts prior to the ninth inning Friday, but he managed to salvage the night with his second home run of the season. The young infielder is still batting just .182 for the year, though he's been a little better lately with both of his long balls coming over his last three contests.
